You may ask me what I mean when I say live for yourself. I mean stay true to yourself without thinking about what other people think of you or any other external factor perceives you as. I know it may be hard for some people to not care about how society thinks of them. I myself have struggled with this problem. Having to always be a people pleaser, saying sorry even if you are not even wrong and not voicing your own opinion to others in fear that you will be judged or made fun of. Everyone should ask themselves what worries me the most, after you do so . Ask yourself, is it something that will help you grow or something that you can not control. This will help you see where your priorities are. It also shows maturity.
Have you ever felt different? That you don’t fit into the social norms. Its ok not to fit in. Why do you even want to? Why be normal if you can be YOU which is fantastic. Stop caring too much. If someone hates you. Stop trying to please them. People will always talk about you with you or behind your back. The is such a thing as being too nice. By saying this I don’t want you to go around disrespecting everyone around you, just be happy in your own bubble don’t be scared to be yourself in fear you won’t be accepted or misunderstood.
Self-love is very important because if you think about it, you are the only person exactly like you in the whole world. No matter how hard you try to find someone like you, you will never find one. That means when you wake up every day know that you are special. Special enough to have a name, to have a home and to have you in your life. Everyone else in your life is a supporting character. It is a shame that people stay at the same place their whole life because they are scared what other people will think of them, if they take a leap of faith. In the end we are all going to die without those people who were trying to put you in a box. Enjoy your life you only have one and don’t give your valuable time to people who make you feel small.
Know your worth
